Strix Instruments is a Kyiv, Ukraine–based developer of sample libraries and virtual instruments for Native Instruments Kontakt, founded by composer and sound designer Volodymyr "Dargalon" Savin. The studio specializes in conceptual, atmospheric libraries built around rare, unusual, or historically significant instruments rather than conventional orchestral or band sources.

Its catalog includes PRIPYAT Pianos, a library sampled from twenty abandoned pianos recorded across multiple expeditions into the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, and EMISYNTH, a collection drawn from eleven Soviet-era children's synthesizers captured through their original speakers. Other releases include Destroyed Six, Kangling, and Zvenigorod, all following the same approach of sourcing sound from instruments with a strong cultural or material backstory.

Savin's broader sound-design credits — including work tied to the Metro series, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, and the Cut the Rope franchise — inform the studio's cinematic, narrative-driven aesthetic, and its libraries are commonly used by film, game, and ambient composers looking for distinctive textural material.

Strix Instruments has 2 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Kontakt Instrument.
